Definitions

  • This invention relates to material application to rod wrappers, particularly but not exclusively, to rods manufactured in the tobacco industry and wrappers used therein.
  • each rod comprises rod materials and a wrapper.
  • the rod material is filtration material
  • the rod material is tobacco or some other smoking material.
  • the wrapper for filter rods is usually plugwrap, but may be tipping wrapper if the filter rod is self- sustaining.
  • the wrapper for tobacco rods is cigarette paper.
  • wrapper application techniques are conventionally achieved using roller transfer techniques which can operate at these high speeds.
  • These systems consist of a roller that rotates within a bath of flowable medium, e.g. adhesive.
  • the roller picks up and transfers the flowable medium either directly, or indirectly via an intermediary delivery roller, to the wrapper.
  • a modified roller surface is required, such as a "pocketed" surface, usually along with a method to remove excess adhesive from the surface of the roller around the pockets, so that clean well-defined patches of material are produced on the wrapper.
  • This type of mechanical application is described in US 5,450,863.
  • a disadvantage of these types of mechanical system of roller application is the physical size of the rollers, size being important for robustness, especially in view of the high pressures required between the rollers of multiple roller systems. High pressure is required to create a cleanly defined patch, as the pressure drives adhesive from the roller surface, leaving only adhesive within the "pocket" of the roller.
  • a further disadvantage of the mechanical system is associated with the registration of the rollers to a machine timing mark to ensure the material application is correctly and consistently positioned on the wrapper relative to a predetermined point.
  • sophisticated and bulky drive systems are required.
  • new rollers need to be manufactured to enable production of different style products, for example, (i) longer or shorter adhesive patches, for example, require a change to the pocket length, (ii) longer or shorter rod lengths require a change in roller diameter, and (iii) greater or lesser amounts of adhesive, for example, requires a change in "pocket" depth of each roller.
  • the time consuming nature of machine down-time and cost of that down-time, as well as the cost of new rollers, etc. means that conventional roller systems do not offer flexibility at low cost.
  • the present invention provides a rod making machine comprising a rod making section and a material application system, the material application system comprising material applicator means and electronic application control means.
  • the present invention further provides an off-line wrapper material application system, the material application system comprising first wrapper supply means, wrapper storage means, material applicator means and electronic application control means.
  • the material applicator means is an electronically controlled applicator means.
  • the rod making machine is a machine of the tobacco industry.
  • the rod making machine is a tobacco rod making machine or a filter rod making machine.
  • the rod making machine may also be a machine for combining rod sections, such as a filter rod combining machine.
  • Such rod making machines comprise rod material supply means and a wrapper supply means.
  • the rod making section of the rod making machine receives either cigarette paper or filter wrapping material, such as plugwrap or tipping paper.
  • the material applicator means is a flowable medium applicator, and is most preferably an applicator gun.
  • the applicator gun is adjustably mounted with respect to the wrapper.
  • a suitable applicator gun is that sold by HHS Leim Bennetts-Systems GmbH (Krefeld) and described in any one of German Utility Model Nos. DE 20214886, DE 20202381, DE 29508916, German Patent Nos. DE 19936670, DE 19720982, or an applicator gun such as described in US Patent No. 5,915,625.
  • the applicator means comprises a coating head and a flowable medium supply means.
  • the applicator gun includes actuator means operable to cause intermittent supply of flowable medium.
  • a suitable flowable medium supply means is a KFE-KP9-PMDR-FS glue delivery unit, for example.
  • the applicator means may be a ribbon applicator, i.e. a contact applicator, or a pattern applicator, i.e. a non-contact applicator.
  • the supply means of the applicator means advantageously comprises a piston pump operable to delivery flowable medium to the applicator head under pressure.
  • the pressure is suitably within the range of 0-35 bar.
  • the electronic applicator control means preferably also comprises machine timing mark means.
  • the timing mark is achieved using signal means, which may be a flag or other actuator, mounted at a predetermined location to allow registration of the material application with respect to position along the rod.
  • the flag is mounted on the drive train of the cutting knife used to cut the continuous rod into rod lengths.
  • the start sequence for each material application sequence is reset for each unit filter rod length (usually a 6-up or 4-up rod length). This arrangement ensures the minimum amount of drift in position and pitch of material application.
  • further signal means is taken from an encoder mounted on the drive train of the wrapper supply means. This signal is used to control the rate at which the gun fires as the linear speed of the machine changes.
  • the electronic applicator control means is programmed with a variety of material application lengths and positions (pitches).
  • the electronic applicator control means comprises a microprocessor or other electronic control means programmed to provide a number of application for patch lengths and or pitches of application lengths.
  • a suitable microprocessor is a C-1100-MOD microprocessor controller.
  • the microprocessor can be incorporated in the electronic control system of the rod making machine.
  • the changeover between pitch and/or application length can be achieved on-line while the machine is still running. This achieves great flexibility for the machine operator at reduced down-time and cost.
  • the material applicator means provides precise application of material application at speeds of up to 300m/min (depending on material application size and pattern). Higher speeds (up to 400m/min or more) are desirable if accuracy and loading level can be maintained.
  • the material application system can be by-passed easily on the rod making machine, thus allowing product to be made with material application, or not, on the same machine.
  • the material applicator means is located on the rod making machine to allow application of material to the under side of a wrapper supplied to the rod making machine. Such a location provides for the most compact arrangement of the material application system.
  • the material application system can be arranged to apply the material to the upper side of the wrapper.
  • under side means that side which would normally be above the material applicator means, as shown in Figure 1, hereof.
  • the material application system is not a roller application system, although one or more rollers may be used in the present invention.
  • the material application system is used in the off-line embodiment, preferably the material application is controlled by means of the pre-programmed material application patterns stored in the electronic applicator control means.
  • the off-line apparatus is a reel-to-reel apparatus.
  • the off-line apparatus is located in-line with respect to a tobacco industry rod making machine, upstream of the rod making section of said rod making machine.
  • the present invention provides a method of applying material to a wrapper of a tobacco industry rod, the method comprising supplying wrapper material to the rod making station of a rod making machine, applying a material to the wrapper using a material applicator and an electronic applicator control means therefor, the electronic applicator control means ensuring accurate location of the material application in a variable manner adjustable electronically by the electronic applicator control means.
  • the present invention further provides a method of applying material to a wrapper of the tobacco industry, the method comprising supplying wrapper material from a first wrapper supply means to a wrapper storage means, applying a material to the wrapper using a material applicator and electronic applicator control means therefor, the electronic applicator control means ensuring accurate location of material application in a variable manner adjustable electronically by the electronic applicator control means.

  • the adjustments may be in accordance with pre-programmed application patterns stored in the electronic applicator control means.
  • the speed of additional particulate material application may also be electronically controlled.
  • the process of the invention therefore provides minimal interaction of the operator with machinery parts.
  • the flowable medium supplied to the coating head of the applicator means may also comprises that additional material.
  • That additional material may be flavourant, encapsulated or otherwise, e.g. particulate or granular material provided in an adhesive flowable medium.
